Please read the earlier post about having the proper support in
your kernel. Mainly, you need to have floppy support, then under the
"Filesystems" category, the filesystem of your choice (msdos / Win95,
etc).
Mounting a MS-DOS (8.3) floppy:
#mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
Mounting a Win 95 (vfat) floppy:
#mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
Mounting a Linux FS floppy:
#mount -t ext2 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
